Thank You for hearing my prayer and for working in all of our lives. In Jesus name I pray and praise You. Amen September 5, 2014 Todays Devotional Good Morning All, Significance In Christ... Psalms 90: 14-17 (topic using these verse 17 KJV) 14 O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days. 15 Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil. 16 Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children. 17 And let the beauty of the Lord our God be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it. Many of us begin our careers with the goal of achieving success. If we havent entered our work as a result of Gods calling, we will possibly eventually face a chasm of deep frustration and emptiness. Success flatters but does not provide a lasting sense of purpose and fulfillment. So often we enter careers with wrong motives-money, prestige, and even pressure from parents or peers. Failing to match our work with our giftedness and calling is like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole. If that happens over an extended period, a person possibly crashes. At this time, many make another mistake. Workplace believers think that beginning a new career in full-time Christian Work will fill the emptiness they feel. However, this only exacerbates the problem because they are again trying to put another square peg into a round hole. The problem is not whether we should be in Christian Work or secular work, but rather what work is inspired by gifts and calling. If there is one phrase I wish I could remove from the English language it is full-time Christian Work. If you are a Christian, you are in full-time Christian Work, whether you are driving nails or preaching the gospel. The question must be, are you achieving the God-Given calling for your life? God has called people into business to fulfill His purposes just as much as He has called people to be pastors or missionaries. It is time for workplace believers to stop feeling like second-class citizens for being in business. It is time workplace believers stop working toward financial independence so that they can concentrate on their true spiritual calling. This is the great deception for those called to business. Significance comes from fulfilling the God-Given purpose for which you were made. Ask Him to confirm this in your own life. Be Blessed...Stand for truth as God has said it...
